San Jose Sharks GM Mike Grier said he'd listen to trade offers on centers Logan Couture and Tomas Hertl if they want to be moved. How likely would a trade be?

Since taking over as GM of the San Jose Sharks last July, Mike Grier has wasted little time making significant moves to rebuild their roster. That includes trading notable talents such as Brent Burns, Timo Meier and Erik Karlsson.

Those deals left observers wondering if Sharks captain Logan Couture and center Tomas Hertl could be next on the trade block.

On Sept. 21, Bay Area News' Curtis Pashelka reported Grier said he checks in regularly with Couture and Hertl. He indicated he'd be willing to listen to trade offers on both players if they reached the point when they wanted to be moved.

It doesn't appear that Couture or Hertl have reached that point yet. Should that day come, however, it could prove difficult for Grier to find suitors willing to meet his asking price for either player.

Couture carries an average annual value of $8 million through 2026-27 with a three-team list of preferred trade destinations. Hertl, meanwhile, is in the second season of an eight-year deal worth $8.137 million per year and a full no-movement clause until 2025-26, when he'll have a modified no-trade clause.

Couture turns 35 in March, while Hertl will be 30 in November. Some teams could be wary about parting with promising assets for players carrying those kinds of contracts well into their thirties.

Grier was able to move the 33-year-old Karlsson and the bulk of his $11.5-million cap hit through 2026-27 to the Pittsburgh Penguins despite his no-movement clause. However, he was coming off a career-best 101-point campaign earning his third Norris Trophy in the process.
